The Ministry of Culture reported that specialists have started installing temporary coverings to prevent further damage to the St. Nicholas Church in Kyiv, which was impacted by the shelling of the city center on December 20.
These measures aim to maintain optimal temperature conditions inside the building and protect the facades and interiors from external influences. The work is part of preparations for continuing restoration efforts.
The next stage will involve the restoration of the central stained-glass composition, which was destroyed during the attack. New glass elements will be produced based on authentic drawings and documentation from the restoration passport of the structure. Modern materials have been selected for the stained glass to faithfully recreate the original design conceived by the authors between 1899 and 1909.
As previously reported by the UOJ, the St. Nicholas Church in Kyiv was damaged by a missile attack from Russia.
